I personally love Chae Soo Bin. I think she's a wonderful actress! She's versatile, too, but because she's so petite and adorable it's hard not to find her endearing even when she's playing someone awful. She's one of my favorite Korean actresses. Everything else I've seen her in she nails her part. She also has a very distinct, unique voice.
He isn't adopted from orphanage rather he is the illegitimate child of his supposed grandfather. So his 'father'…
This drama does kind of give me Perfect Marriage Revenge vibes, but with a higher production value. Haven't seen a lot of makjangs, but it's the sort of plot twist that checks out for a makjang from what I've heard. 😅
I don't usually like the soapie dramas as much, but this one WAS good. It had soapie elements, for sure, but the way they grew the characters by the end was really, really lovely.
It was good but really draggy...like they were so many filler episodes.. it was getting hard to complete it by…
That's a weekender for you. But the end is GREAT. I just skipped all the scenes with the terribly annoying mother-in-law the more I watched. 😅 I know she "progressed," but it happened too slowly, and I just couldn't stand her.
Yeah I agree! I would guess those people are young girls/kids who simply didn't get it, the tiktok generation.…
I would like to push back on this comment.
Some people just don't enjoy watching genres like nihilistic noir thrillers or dark, mature plots, no matter how brilliantly written they are; it doesn't make people who dislike or avoid them automatically shallow or "younger girls/kids" or the "TikTok Generation" or "12 year olds cheering on their oppas" or people who "just don't get it." There are a variety of reasons people might dislike or avoid certain genres, even those deemed mature or profound (many of them far from shallow, e.g. maybe their lives are very hard and mirror the darkness they're watching; maybe the darkness or heaviness is too much darkness to stomach if they already tend towards pessimism and hopeless nihilism; maybe people deal with dark things in their work or job and need a break from it; maybe it makes others more anxious, depressed or subdued or they can't separate the weightiness from their own personal struggle and associate things unnecessarily, etc.).
And at the end of the day, it's all still entertainment, not documentaries on things like war crimes from World War II or something. It's usually not a good rule of thumb to watch entertainment to learn about reality anyway, as most entertainment just mimics reality inaccurately even if convincingly and compellingly portrayed.
I'm sure people would appreciate not being reduced to things they're not while scrolling for recommendations on whether this drama is something they'll enjoy. 😉
Haha, thanks! The users on the Cdramas pages tend to be nicer and more helpful, too. Fewer contrarians and people being rude or immature. It's been refreshing!
And yes, I agree. I made the switch for similar reasons (and was noticing people saying things like you, that Cdramas have been improving recently) but I'll try Kdramas here and there when I can if they seem to do well. It's kind of sad they've been going downhill. 😔 I blame Netflix/Amazon/Disney +. Some people seem to love their foray into Kdramas; me, not so much.
Don't mind at all, haha. Right now, Crash Landing On You and Dr. Romantic 2. :)
I recently watched the Cdrama Nirvana In Fire (just getting into Cdramas, and have been pleasantly surprised by some of them) and that was 🤯. Wow. Took me some time to get into, but once I did, I was sold. I think it's the most beautifully written drama I've ever seen, but these three Kdramas are still in my Top 3 due to how many times I have rewatched them and they still hold up as extremely enjoyable. 😋
